This news has been welcomed by the small and large in Kosovo, but also by the foreign diplomatic missions of allied countries.
However, sanctions themselves are not expected to weaken the crime network of these people in the country where illegal activities occur -- northern Kosovo.
These people will have assets blocked that may have been owned in the United States, nor can they travel towards Kosovo's most friendly country, Perskopi explains.
Prime Minister Kurti has demanded that Kosovo prosecutors study US decisions on the heads of crime in the north that have abundant information.
Here are the sanctions under the Treasury Department:
As a result of today's action, all property and interests on the property of the above persons in the United States, either owned or controlled by American persons, are blocked and should be reported to OFAC. Also blocked are any subject that is owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or more people blocked. Unless it is authorized by a general or specific OFAC license, or otherwise excluded, all transactions by US persons or inside (or transit) of the United States involving any property or interest in the property of certain or otherwise blocked persons are prohibited. The bans include giving any contribution or offering funds, goods or services from, for, or in behalf of any person blocked or receiving any contributions or offering funds, goods or services from any such person.
